Mie theory: Test values Prev topic | Next topic

Table 1 contains results for the attenuation efficiency and scattering efficiency obtained with programs: MIEV0 - Wiscombe (1996); as quoted by Du (2004), MIECPP - Du (2004), and MJC Light Scattering Calculator for Homogeneous Sphere (HS). The results obtained with all these programs agree to within the numerical precision shown. The MIEV0 and HS calculate the the an and bn functions by using the A-function approach. The MIECPP calculates the an and bn functions by using ratios of the successive orders of the Ricatti-Bessel functions.

Table 2 contains results for the attenuation efficiency obtained with MJC Light Scattering Calculator for Homogeneous Sphere (HS) as compared to those obtained by Penndorf (1957).

Table 3 contains results for the attenuation efficiency and absorption efficiency obtained with MJC Light Scattering Calculator for Homogeneous Sphere (HS) as compared to those obtained and quoted by Fenn and Oser (1965), who developed one of the early coated-sphere scattering programs. The results listed by Fenn and Oser refer to the limiting case of the vanishing shell. Fenn and Oser do not state algorithm details.

Table 4 contains results for the | S1 |2 function at scattering angles of 0° and 180° obtained for a real refractive index with MJC Light Scattering Calculator for Homogeneous Sphere (HS) as compared to those obtained by a SUPERMIDI program (Grehan and Gouesbet 1979). Table 5 contains results for various values of the complex relative refractive index.
